Example Run:
foobar.service created below is a service unit file that has a non-existing key-value
pairing (foo = bar) and is thus, syntactically invalid.
maanya-goenka@debian:~/systemd (img-support)$ cat <<EOF>img/usr/lib/systemd/system/foobar.service
> [Unit]
> foo = bar
>
> [Service]
> ExecStart = /opt/script0.sh
> EOF
The failure to create foobar.service because of the recursive dependency searching and verification has been addressed
in a different PR: systemd-analyze: add option to return an error value when unit verification fails #20233
maanya-goenka@debian:~/systemd (img-support)$ sudo build/systemd-analyze verify --root=img/ foobar.service
/home/maanya-goenka/systemd/img/usr/lib/systemd/system/foobar.service:2: Unknown key name 'foo' in section 'Unit', ignoring.
foobar.service: Failed to create foobar.service/start: Unit sysinit.target not found.
This reverts commit cb0e818f7c.
After this was merged, some design and implementation issues were discovered,
see the discussion in #18782 and #19385. They certainly can be fixed, but so
far nobody has stepped up, and we're nearing a release. Hopefully, this feature
can be merged again after a rework.
Fixes#19345.
When `--json` option is specified, "status" and "list" commands gives
the same information, as originally "list" just gives partial
information of "status" in different format.
I don't think it makes sense to complete --legend=yes. It is the default, and
it would be only used very rarely (and then it is easy enough to just remove
the '=no' part from the suggested string).
Allow to setup new bind mounts for a service at runtime (via either
DBUS or a new 'systemctl bind' verb) with a new helper that forks into
the unit's mount namespace.
Add a new integration test to cover this.
Useful for zero-downtime addition to services that are running inside
mount namespaces, especially when using RootImage/RootDirectory.
If a service runs with a read-only root, a tmpfs is added on /run
to ensure we can create the airlock directory for incoming mounts
under /run/host/incoming.
As described in #2680, systemctl did ignore inhibitors if it is not
attached to a tty to allow scripts to ignore inhibitors automatically.
This pull request preserves this behavior but allows scripts to
explicit check inhibitors if required.
The new parameter '--check-inhibitors=yes' enables this feature.
The old parameter '-i'/'--ignore-inhibitors' was deprecated in favor
of '--check-inhibitors=no', the default behaviour can be specified
with '--check-inhibitors=auto'.
The new parameter is also described in the documentations and shell
completions found here.
unset-environment is completed with variable names in the environment block.
set-environment the same, but suffixed with "=".
import-environment is completed with variable names in the client environment.
Timestamps for unit start/stop are recorded with microsecond granularity,
but status and show truncate to second granularity by default.
Add a --timestamp=pretty|us|utc option to allow including the microseconds
or to use the UTC TZ to all timestamps printed by systemctl.
The "preset" column introduced in
b01c1f305c breaks zsh completion for
systemctl disable/enable. Fix by ignoring everything after the last
space in a line.
Hiding the first column, which may contain bullet circles, with --no-legend
is undocumented and potentially unexpected. On the other hand, not printing
bullet circles with --plain is documented so hiding the column with that
switch is sensible.
The combination "--full --no-legend --no-pager --plain" is appropriate for
automated processing of systemctl output.
v2:
- if RestartKillSignal= is not specified, fall back to KillSignal=. This is necessary
to preserve backwards compatibility (and keep KillSignal= generally useful).
